No matter what happened this must be a wake up call for all of us. We’re basically sharing everything we have with these companies/AI systems. This is wildly different than a human wiretapping our private messages. Because it is systematic and automated in an astronomical scale. There is no real privacy in this new world. Law? I think “National Security” is a good enough excuse to screen anything constantly, including foreign researchers in case they are close to a breakthrough.

My sense of the word 'share' is that it traditionally involves agency by all parties involved. There are a lot of words in English for describing taking things without permission and profiting thereby - words like piracy, banditry, and larceny.
Next you will try to tell me that these companies built upon nothing but piracy, banditry and larceny would continue to commit piracy, banditry or larceny.
